re: LSU's new traditional rival?

LSU has one rival in the West, traditional or not. It's Alabama. End of discussion.

While I agree Bama is "a" rival, we will never be their top rival until Auburn gets the death penalty. SO, it's hard to imagine this rivalry at "the next level", so to speak. Our biggest rival was Tulane, then Ole Miss. Those teams don't hold up their end of the bargain and make the games competitive anymore.

It could be aTm. While the Texas/aTm rivalry will have history and tradition behind it for some time, the conference realignment could easily shift that, pretty easily (Texas still has Oklahoma).
